Also in the current news is a Frenchman suing Facebook for closing his account for posting Courbet's L'Origine du Monde, an artwork which depicts a certain part of the female anatomy very prominently.

Several years ago an image of a friend I (re)posted was subject to FB policy-based deletion. I'm not sure whether this was because reposting other people's images was frowned on at that time or the sight of the top of a male ass wearing female underwear poking out from jeans in a group called the "ass appreciation society" was a bit too racy (I can't find the email I received about it, and I believe the original pic is still there) but I'm convinced it was several orders of magnitude less likely to have caused anyone offence than a Muhammed-cartoon-meme.
